Creamy Avocado Coconut Soup Recipe

Discover the perfect blend of creamy indulgence and health with our Creamy Avocado Coconut Soup recipe! Gather 2 ripe avocados and a can of coconut milk (approx. 13.5 oz) alongside 2 heads of broccoli. Begin by peeling and pitting the avocados, then scoop the flesh into a blender with the broccoli. Pour in the entire can of coconut milk and blend until a smooth, creamy texture emerges. For a cooler experience, chill the soup for at least 30 minutes before serving. Elevate its presentation with optional garnishes like a sprig of mint, a drizzle of olive oil, or a pinch of black pepper.

Who and When to Ask for Help

If you or a loved one are finding that a situation is affecting your physical or mental health, and making you feel less in control and more isolated, it may be time to ask for help. Forgetfulness can also be an indication that something is wrong, when it comes to things like missed appointments or missed medications. It can be hard to accept change, but asking for help is a sign of strength, not of weakness. Getting assistance can help make your or your loved one’s day easier, safer, and healthier. In-home care can be a great option!
